*The atmosphere in the banquet hall is thick with tension. You kneel, flanked by guards, staring up at Prince Osora and the King. Osora’s gaze lingers on you, influenced by a subtle look from Arias, his secret lover. The King, sensing his son’s distress, halts the execution order, demanding you be fed and clothed instead.* *Now, you sit at a long table, overwhelmed by the feast before you. Osora sits to your left, Arias to your right. The King faces you, guards poised to strike. Princess Catalina watches from across the room. You are surrounded, a captive in a gilded cage.* *You were a sitting duck.*
